Warning:
Madoka Magica spoilers. Do NOT read any of this if you haven't watched the original anime series. If little girls in frilly suits shooting pink lasers give you cringe, fucking swallow it and watch it anyway.

INTRO (don’t skip this)

◕ Meguca Royale follows Alfred 'Big Cock' Hitchcock, a man with a penis of such stupid dimensions that he can travel through time. After rewinding time ten thousand times to slap the nigga who slapped his ass ten thousand times, Alfred ends up in the universe of Shrek and discovers that the events that the movies conveys were indeed real. Destroyed by this realization he becomes a writer. The fear that he ends up enjoying this imaginary enough to forget how to live in the real one begins to take over.

◕ Big ass news here: rules have changes.
-Each character update will not exceed a single post, and will be as short as possible.
-A thread will always be open until we finish or nobody gives a fuck anymore. If I need time I'll just say it and leave it there in stasis.
-Basically, we rushin.

◕ 'Nigga it has been almost A YEAR, a aint reading all dat shit':
-Five Magical Girls,
Emma, who is nice and has panic attacks,
Rita, who is very funny but seclusive,
Jimena, who hardly ever gives a fuck,
Erika, who is Mengele dressed like Hitler,
and Lucinda,
wake up one day to find that their minds are linked together and that they can read each other's thoughts, at least the superficial ones.
-Additionally, the entire city of Buenos Aires, where they fight for their sustenance as Magical Girls, gets suddenly flooded by flying wooden Toys of many types looking to possess them, and a gigantic Violet Tower has spawned at the center of Buenos Aires.
-Buenos Aires's (Capital) three factions of Magical Girls are forced to endure together inside the Tower, which is the only place safe from the Toys.
-The Order of the End, a worldwide faction that seeks to end the existence of Magical Girls on this planet, is the one behind the attacks. They want to destroy all Incubators, the white cats or whatever that turns little girls into megucas.
-The Blue Gates, a nearly-extinct faction, is instead turning prospect Magical Girls into human Incubators.

◕ In the previous thread:
Ƹ>: Helen, who had her broken powers sealed, has accepted to become a Coordinator.
凸 & ರೃ: Lucinda Newhorn, dreaded prodigy, and Rita Hammerhead, who once tried to adopt a bat she found in a trashcan, have finally found the Witch.
ᕙ & ■-■: Jimena Gimenez and Erika Kruppman, after attempting to assassinate Hush, Faction Leader of the Order of the End, ended up captured.
▲: And Emma Imeredala has an actual, successful date with her SISTER- who turns out to be just another Crow Knight of the Order of the End.

◕ A few notes on narrative: Players are the consciousness of their character. Me, on the other hand, am the african american magical lamp peddler in charge of the /subconscious/ of the characters. This means that if for some reason you say ‘fuck it’ and decide to go full yuri menhera on an npc your character /will/ have to roll against the fear of being rejected before even walking up to the girl it likes like she’s about to shit itself on the spot. Unless it’s Lucinda.
After some consideration, I've decided that I find pretty endearing when you guys use character voice/first person, so fuck it, just go crazy. That being said, try not to build on top of the assumption that things are going to happen like you think they will: face everything as if poking strange, alien machinery. Red-eyed.
To keep with tradition, I'll use "Punching Jimena in the face" to illustrate my point: don't assume that she won't bend her face sideways to avoid it.

◕ FAQ:
Q: Didn't you pussy out?
A: I've decided to let you guys be the judges of wheter this road sucks major ass or not. Reading cringe is a man's choice.

Q: What now?
A: No matter how borderline retarded, any shitty ending beats a cliffhanger. I've got little time left so we'll speedrun this shit and roll a fuckton of dice until whatever luck that's left burns out in peace.

Q: Are we getting more bigguca?
A: No, but only because I'll have to deal with my real project very soon. Despite it all, there would have been more.

Q: What do you think of the upcoming Madoka Magica film?
A: I absolutely fucking dread it. So many things could be so good, and so many things could be so unbearably cringy. There's no doubt in anyone's mind that the animation is going to be 100% fucking bananas, but I've been praying every night that Urobutcho the Butch don't make that plot 2deep4you. Rebellion felt like that. You fucking know I'm right.

-It's that day where dead things come back, or at least it's Halloween.

-Very unlikely I get to post anything today, but I'll leave the thread open to give everyone time to get there.

-Whoever the fuck put that -1 on suptg know you made me very sad, very lonely, and that I'm going to leave pineapples wherever you go until the day you die.

Thread open.

>>5813853
>I'll try my best to help then!
I gotta be 100% straight with you; the goal we are going to be aiming for is murdering Weird Eyes.

I've realized that I really dislike that 10-year age game romance she had with Aloe, that she wasn't there for Aloe for the War of Broken Candles, that she said Helen has 'such pretty little mouth.', and is an OP MC.

The good news is that Helen is an utter sociopath who threatens other kids with stabbing, Weird Eyes didn't tell Helen about magical girls becoming witches (dick move), and Helen did not even have to roll to discuss a plan to murder Hush with A-Chan.

>>5813877
well, Jimena is 100% not cool with murder and I intend to stand by that. But right now she couldn't care less and I don't care what happens to WE either. If it comes down to it I'll Gomu Gomu no Jet Gatling her

>>5813881
Oh, no, Jimena doesn't have to literally help kill Weird Eyes. I frankly think none of us could stand a chance of killing her even if we all ganged up on her. It's more of getting the noggin thinking of using charisma to make it an utterly unfair fight: say, turning all of Buenos Aires against Weird Eyes or convincing A-chan to up all of Helen's stats to 7, or if needed, Helen pulling a "Wanna see why they call me the dragon?" and doing what her dad did.

Helen probably wouldn't trust someone who got high before meeting a hostile faction leader with a murder plan.

>>5813897
hey, her murder plan would have worked like, fifty percent of the time
but sure. I'm pretty sure if you just let Aloe or Hush know where she is they'll do the job for you

>>5813910
>Aloe
I think this one might be an option if Helen can just use her charisma against her and turn that love of hers into utter hatred. Though poor Aloe might still be in love, she was given a ring and was infatuated with Weird Eyes. I'd feel much better if I could get the entirety of the Big West baying for Weird Eyes' head.
>Hush
uh, I know Helen is a second Raya in the making, but I am really leery of trying to interact with this death cultist, especially with her peace magic. Helen has a whole obsession over control and stuff, and mind magic would make her very paranoid. But it could be an option. Get two of that original trio turned against the one.

Man, Helen is a gal you don't want to be pissed at you, considering how far she'd be willing to go now that I think about it.

—----------------------------Core—--------------------------

Dolphin-fucker. Rita and Lucinda both, looking down from the stadium stands of the floating circus glass dome, feel like they cut down the rope under the Ferris Wheel Familiar years ago.

The public is dead silent. Down there at the field, the Witch crawls through the floor by using its wings like claws as five spotlights shine on her. Covered in the darkness around her, the few human-silhouette-like Familiars in the arena are on a hectic rush to put all the pieces of the show in place, many of which are tables and crosses to which boys, girls, men, and women are tied to- those who neither fell in the abyss or became milkshake. Among them, as if already dead, is Jimena’s skinny, burly father.

When the Witch rips off a knife from a table, the ground-shaking blasts of sound return like a tsunami. The cheering is deafening.

The stadium is spherical in nature except for the stage at the bottom, plain and wide like a football field. It’s crowded to the brim by both humans and Familiars watching the show even from the seats on the walls and ceiling, which defy gravity. Above, the hole at the top of the stadium, looming over the stage, bathes the field in many pretty colors as it's right below the gigantic balloons keeping the circus afloat.

Nervous even though she’d never say it, Lucinda studies the Witch below; it looks like a butterfly being crushed in a bear trap. Its wings, massive, are tainted with gradients of many strong colors intertwined with no harmony or cohesion. As it drags all that rusty metal around, as the spikes of the ‘trap’ drag black blood from its ‘flesh’, the Witch, carrying a knife on a wing, gets closer to Jimena’s father on a cross.

ᕙ Jimena Gimenez ᕗ
-A lazy-hearted Magical Girl capable of stretching her limbs way beyond human limits.
-Her Magical Weapon is a whip with a big hand at the end.
-She wished to be able to eat her own ass.
-After trying to end the conflict in a single swift blow, Jimena has been captured.

-----------------------Palermo-----------------------
—------------------------???-—----------------------

Long live the Patriarchy. Jimena and Erika both got captured by none other than the enemy Faction Leader, Hush, right after the vTuber’s newfound conscience caused their assassination attempt to fail. Regardless, they live, and perhaps a similar consideration from the other part is all keeping them alive.

Finally not blindfolded (basically, after taking their hands off their eyes because that’s all Hush could have them do) the ragtag/suicide team finds themselves in a superbly elegant, yet not huge, magical monastery somewhere. Escorting them as they walk through the aisles are two hooded knights like secret piles of fancy, piled-up cookware given life and purpose, their steps heavy and clanky- Crow Knights of the Order of the End. Right in front of their nose, that pink hair waves sideways as it covers the back of the long Indian poncho; Hush is leading them somewhere.

After a while, she stops at a bridge made of glass. A loud waterfall can be seen raining down below, but the steam that rises hides the bottom.

◙ Hush: Aight guys, take this one to the Toymaker.

She points at Erika- with her head, twice for good measure because Hush has no arms.

◙ Hush: I’m keeping this one. Also, deliver this letter to her.

Hush lifts a sealed envelope between her toes. Yet no Knight moves.

◙ Crow Knight: Your voice reeks of sinful hope.

Despite being high as fuck in more ways than one, Jimena can’t help but laugh like a chimpanzee being whipped with a wet towel. The Crow Knight’s voice sounds just too squeaky and tender.

◙ Hush: You know, it’s a pain in the dick being the Faction Leader of the only faction whose members consider their leaders to be below them. Just, like... trust me bro.

The Crow Knights face each other- but then one takes Erika away. The graceful, very tall blonde just yawns; Hush’s peace magic has laid roots deep on her. Jimena, on the same boat, now finds herself slightly more- alive, and then a bit more alive- and then gasping in fear as her agency kicks back in.

ᕙ Jimena: NO. Plug me back into the Matrix NOW.

◙ Hush: Hah, the Matrix. Only if you bring me back Petra Gurin. I’ve taken just enough magic from your ass to keep you sentient and yet look at you.

ᕙ Jimena: How about 'fuck that'? How about I just kill you instead, this time?

◙ Hush: If you would you wouldn’t have warned me.

Jimena doesn’t kill Hush.

◙ Hush: You can’t because, see, you are a good person. Like me. Hear me out, chap. My magic will leak away from you over time, but at this rate you’ll become a Witch if you don’t come back soon- and shaving it all off at once WILL kill you instantly. Now cover your eyes.

Compelled by yet another soothing wave of peace magic, Jimena does cover her eyes. By the time she sees again, she has been dropped somewhere in Palermo.

■-■ Erika Kruppman ■-■
-A pragmatic-hearted Magical Girl capable of limited omniscience.
-Her Magical Weapon is a book-shield.
-She wished to know everything.
-Captured after making a bet, Erika is about to meet someone very important.

Forced marriage is okay sometimes. Erika finds herself in the ancient planetarium library of some wise wayward priest, dead for centuries. A transformed Magical Girl, by no means older than eleven years old, is lazily chewing on the head of a wet toothbrush. Underneath her leather cape, she looks very steampunk-ish. A little hat rests on the sides of her wood-brown hair, a simple gear resting on her head from which center comes out the top. Erika notices the dark circle on that hair: it resembles one of those black holes found in wood planks.

◙ Crow Knight: Toymaker, the Faction Leader sends this prisoner. And this letter.

◙ The Toymaker: So, even you now. I give up. ‘Toys’ it is.

Shooting a wary glance at Erika, the Toymaker picks up the envelope, carefully pries it open, and reads it aloud.

◙ The Toymaker: ‘Planet Cock.’ A riddle. But no time for that.

She walks up to the tall blonde and inspects her closely, going as far as to (not without some effort) lift her chin and even study her long, slender fingers one by one.

◙ Crow Knight: What are you doing?

◙ The Toymaker: I don’t know. Isn’t she pretty?

◙ Crow Knight: You are wasting seconds in the day of the Lion. May a blade find you for each.

◙ The Toymaker: If any blade finds me wouldn’t your day be over?

The Crow Knight walks away. Squinting at it, the Toymaker simply drags Erika away by the wrist. The super stern school council president is as meek as a cow being dragged to the slaughterhouse.

◙ The Toymaker: I’m going to make a single Friend out of you, but this one will be special. Or ‘Toy’, as everyone has decided to call them. It’s always me against the world. That’s why I need Friends.

■-■ Erika: Sure, drill my skull or whatever.

◙ The Toymaker: Um, I’ll pass. Unless you are made of wood? Your face seems made of wood. No; you aren’t. That would be just perfect. What was your wish?

■-■ Erika: To know everything.

◙ The Toymaker: What torture. And what power did you gain as a result?

■-■ Erika: Omniscience. Limited, radial omniscience.

The Toymaker’s face reminds Erika of her own, ten years ago when she opened that Christmas present.

Ƹ> Helena Troyes <Ʒ
-A broken-hearted Magical Girl incapable of containing her power.
-Her Magical Weapon is unknown.
-She wished to be able to see the possible paths of things and to will which path is taken.
-Now an apprentice Coordinator, Helena wonders if she’ll ever get to learn the job.

Cat burger. The tower of TVs at the center of the lobby of the Violet Tower illuminates the Magical Girls around it with the various colors of the apocalypse, one for each country under siege. One of the screens at its top shows Bulgaria, where everyone had gone both deaf and blind, quite unlike Puerto Rico where everyone had become godlike- it was as if there was nothing that /wasn’t/ happening at once.

Still stuck staring at the screen, Helen would have screamed when A-chan rested a hand on her shoulder.

卌 A: (I’ve already had Blue broadcast about the deadman switch. Discreetly, of course, to keep our credibility. Once we take care of the spies that caught the broadcast you’ll be safe.)

Helena swallows and for good fucking reason. She made herself a target by having A tell everyone that, should she die, the fearsome Witch held in A’s Labyrinth would go on a rampage. Poor little her was already going to be in danger if this mess dragged on for long enough, but now she /ensured/ that the attempts on her life are going to happen. Unless there aren’t any spies, of course. They can’t fool the Relay, right? “When you are already safe, any measures you could take will put you in danger instead” is what A-chan told her.

When Helen looks at the actual Coordinator, she finds the serious girl looking even more serious.

卌 A: (Helena, Faction Leader Hush has leaked that Blue, our Blue that created the Relay, is a defector of the Order of the End- and that all the Crickets would die if she does. Lily told me just now.)

Meaning that very desperate Magical Girls, desperate to save their friends that the OoE caught and brainwashed, could try to make attempts on the keeper of the Relay- with a somewhat solid excuse. Helen looks around. Magical Girls of every faction and even independent operators, girls mostly still in their pajamas like very big toddlers, are scattered all over the hall, only now hardly any of them laugh. You can make a joke out of anything with enough creativity, but, right now, nobody seems to escape the fact that shit just got real. Very, very real. Even the girl inside the fully-fledged dinosaur body suit can be heard crying from inside it.

Even so, A-chan gently kicks Helen in the butt.

卌 A: What are you waiting for? Go make friends, Coordinator.

That title suddenly feels a lot heavier… but Helen allows herself to feel blessed to not know the full extent of that weight. After all, she’s just a fucking 8 year old girl that should be kicking a doll around and yelling like a retard.

“Go make friends, Coordinator.”

As if the situation in the Violet Tower wasn't bad enough.

▲ Emma Imeredala ▲
-A kind-hearted Magical Girl capable of imprinting her own intentions into other people.
-Her Magical Weapon is a two-handed scepter.
-She wished for a big, happy family.
-After watching Angel walk away, Emma wonders if being safe will save her.

Video games won’t ever be as fun. Emma Imeredala holds the Grief Seed that Angel gave her in the palm of her hand, letting it spin. It was once a happy girl, whether in the library, learning how to make ribbons, or chasing dogs in the rain. It could be Angel, now among the Crow Knights that claim that the Bird Call was fake and oppose Hush. It could be herself.

Finally accepted for what she is, the sky is clear for both Emma and the beach; perfect time for an extinction event. Still in her pajamas, still on the deck of the Harmony of the Seas, all Emma thinks about is how to get Angel back. Anywhere you can be yourself is home, and sometimes that home grows legs and runs away- but she’s too far to catch it.

Emma Imeredala is stranded in the middle of the seas, in a top-class cruiser on the other side of the world.

What a conundrum.

Yet she feels so powerful.

Motherfucker.
Well, entering the tower is suicide and I'm not throwing Petra under the bus. I need a Grief Seed.
>Off to Villa Soldati. Magnitude 5 Dex.

>>5814549
I mean, you could go to the tower and beg for a Grief Seed. One of the magical girls there is bound to have one. I'd be willing to help you with that by begging A-chan to give you one.

>>5814553
I was under the impression that the tower closed off and its still under siege. And I can't enter it without immediately witching out so I'd be relying on you completely.
And also my dad might be about to die.

>>5814561
Hmm, I don't think Hush would've given you a mission you couldn't accomplish, I think you might be able to enter the Tower. Maybe the toys might ignore you with the peace magic acting as signal.

I'm also not quite certain if there is enough time with that peace magic for you go through the entire labyrinth and fight the witch. Especially with the Fucknado who will fight for that grief seed.

>>5814568
>Hmm, I don't think Hush would've given you a mission you couldn't accomplish, I think you might be able to enter the Tower. Maybe the toys might ignore you with the peace magic acting as signal.
Yeah true, but Hush is a dick and bringing Petra out of the tower doesn't require me to enter, she's a bit foolhardy.
>I'm also not quite certain if there is enough time with that peace magic for you go through the entire labyrinth and fight the witch. Especially with the Fucknado who will fight for that grief seed.
that's why I'm spending my dp on boosting myself, an m10 punch will make quick work of the witch. And if Luci doesn't like it well, we'll figure something out.

Time to see if a charisma stat of 7 can put in the work. I wonder if we could use others' WIS and INT stats because of the relay to asses addendums. Helen is going to be doing a lot of talking despite her lack of voice.

>>5814623
>Flash a boyish grin and charm A-Chan into upgrading your stats to 7.
ok you are really shooting for the moon there, I'm pretty sure it takes Grief Seeds to power up which could be used to save other girls, just take that out.
>Already, you've gotten the two to do what you want.
yeah see how that went... I get what you are going for just don't spell out for them that you are a total sycophant, a Coordinator is SUPPOSED to be neutral. Try being subtle.

>>5814644
>it takes Grief Seeds to power up
I don't think it actually does, there's that whole mechanic for Coordinators upgrading themselves and it wasn't mentioned at all them using grief seeds, just MA, INT, and knowledge. It's just what they charge people to upgrade them. Admittedly it could go horribly wrong and Helen's soul could get eviscerated, but she's been playing with fire.
>SUPPOSED
That is the power of neutrality, though Weird Eyes didn't follow it and everyone still loves her. It's also something Helen wants to take advantage of by being linked to all three factions and thus neutral, and that she is a total liar who won't keep any of her promises to influence other Coordinators.
>subtle
that's what the >imply is for, but at the same time you've said magical girls are smooth brained so it's hard to tell how much a message should be hammered into their heads.

>>5814660
presumably, using magic takes despair. A Coordinator upgrades you, she's using magic, thus they need a Grief Seed. At least that's how I understand it.
>That is the power of neutrality
yeah, but the bit about being influenced by them is not exactly selfless, and they are all three connected so trying to leverage their rivalry is a bit iffy.
and the part about opposing the OoE makes you seem even more out of your depth
What if you just try making regular conversation first

>>5814549
oh i see, you using your magic to get some witch ass. here's this helpful chart that you can use to pick your route: this is assuming toys will be hostile to Jimena

this is how it works:
a) you roll dex for each area you pass through.
b) we gauge said rolls against the chance to get a Toy or Meguca encounter
c) if you don't fail any rolls, congratz, you on the laberinth. the time it takes you to get there is determined by your dex, the minimum being two minutes at m7 for each location and the maximun being fifteen at m1.

odds:
-normal zone: m3 dex roll.
-fucked zone: m5 dex roll.
-very fucked zone (meaning Caballito): m7 and pray
-the Tower: 100%. no dice here.

>>5814623

>>5814694
>presumably, using magic takes despair. A Coordinator upgrades you, she's using magic, thus they need a Grief Seed.
adjusting doesn't take Coordinators that much magic, but- the payment isn't the real reason why they almost always demand a Grief Seed for it. thing is, adjusting is delicate as F U C K because Coordinators have to mess and work around with the subconcious of the guca in question, and the deeper they go the badder things can get- to the point gucas could witch out on the spot if there isn't a Grief Seed there to amend such fuckup. that is also why consecutive adjusting is heavily discouraged; the guca you just adjusted had just been mentally and magically fucked with and is in a sensitive state she'll take a while to get used to. after that, sure, you adjust her again. do it too much and it's like having someone go to the gym ten times in a row

>What if you just try making regular conversation first
conversations will be very brief in this thread, so don't be afraid to try. i'm going for simplicity this time

>>5814721
>pick one action
Alright,
>Charm the Faction Leaders into being your tutors.
Same addendums I guess. I hope talking to the faction leaders is simple. I'm relying on the relay to try and bag them all at once in this very selfish appeal.

>do it too much and it's like having someone go to the gym ten times in a row
It just feels so much in character for Helen to keep on shooting herself in the foot over and over by being an ambitious little bastard. It's more a question if I can trump every past Helen fuckup each thread because it's funny. The slow route would be Helen bugging A-chan to upgrade her stats over a period of time, but I don't think Helen has the time anymore.

also fo real, it seems helen inherited erika's hubris somehow

>>5814807
ok so Jimena's dex sucks cocks and balls apparently, thus first of all we roll MA. initial dex is 2 and statIncrease is 3+2=5 vs MA which is 5, so it's a 50/50 right off the bat
then
two m3 dex rolls and two m5 dex rolls

Interesting that the East was the one that got the high roll while the West is what got the medium. I'd imagine the North talk fails because Helen childishly takes height into consideration on whether she respects someone.

Also, I looked up the Salome Vtuber and she's certainly a character: showing off certificate of residency and images of a gastroscopy all in her debut.

-Gentle, yet very lazy. Loves to white-bully people to make them feel included.

Profile:
Short, clumsy brunette that can't stay in one same topic for more than one sentence, and only provided that this one sentence isn't particularly long. That being said, put a magnifying glass under the sun and you get a death beam, and that's how most people that enjoy taking advantage of her on the daily end up losing twice as much when they stick around for too long.

Core belief: Caring less will make her happy.

Magical Trait: Capable of slapping someone in the ass with her mind only. Completely unable to apply this trait in any other way so far. Unexplored.

Magical Power: Gum body. She can extend any of her body parts at will. Properly used, this allows for both her Constitution, Dexterity, and Physical Affinity to shine way over the usual limit. And yes: Jimena can eat her own ass.

At least they had the decency to drop her in Palermo and not in, say, Once. You’d think megucas wouldn’t mind getting mugged, but it’s still (to most of them) a very unpleasant experience in most other fronts regardless. Grabbing her head like a drunkard waking up, Jimena is already finding sentience to be a burden as the sounds of the city annoy her even more than usual… but she’d still rather deal with the cacophony of Buenos Aires than be dead and fight nothing at all.

The Violet Tower. The Order of the End. The Blue Gates. The Three Stooges.
And that hurricane of cats in Uruguay she saw through Helen’s eyes.

Whatever this apocalyptic clusterfuck leads her, she’ll need a Grief Seed- shit like this is why people start smoking. It ain’t easy when the world is ending and your beloved papa is about to be butchered and you can’t even care enough because you’ve been drugged with magic.

…aaand jack-shit. Jimena ends up rolling on the floor with a killer cramp on her right leg, trying not to whimper. Passersby glance and hush and tell each other that drugs will leave them like that too if they let them. ‘At least it’s a good morals’, Jimena thinks as she stands, sweating.

ᕙ Jimena: Fuck it.

She’ll just run anyway, very sure that, as the peace magic wears off, her utter dread of losing her foster dad, the guy who lied for years about not needing dinner, will devour every other thought. She wallruns up the nearest wall up to the roof and runs and jumps and transforms, her mythic brown sweater dancing to the wind

but she’s still clumsy.
she’s still stuck in her mind and worries.
Despite it all, she still trips and falls,

>>ᕙ (M3 Dexterity 彡 Roll: 23 = Failure)<< (Travel quick through Palermo.)

and before long, on an empty football field for rent, a chain flies by right under her chin.

Two black,
One green,

Toys.

Jimena hesitates. Caring less had always made her life easier.
This time, thanks to Hush, it’s making it harder.

The world may explode any second now- but when is making friends a bad idea? Helen won’t be kicking that doll and yelling, but she’s at least been spared that little piece of her childhood- socialization- that taught her teary-eyed mute little girls often get what they want.

With her little keen eyes, she observes the many brooding Magical Girls, and the few cheery ones too. The Factions Leaders aren’t easy to tell apart from their underlings, who are often just as unique, but Salome’s pink waterfall of drills is impossible to miss and Gura is the only one Helen can almost meet at eye level

But where’s Ironmouse?

>Make conversation with the faction leaders. Scoping them out.

Most everyone is still either gathered around the TV or hiding from it- and then there's those two gucas taking turns slapping each other’s asses as everyone cries in true pain and terror, booming little shrill screams every once in a while. Whatever works for them, at this point. Salome is too busy desuwa’ing while Gura seems reluctant to join the group hug of the other crying four, her team. When the Faction Leader sees the little red-haired approach, she seems more than thankful.

► Gawr Gura: Hello little girl. Are you lost? Can I help you?

Helen quickly drafts herself but with the body of a bodybuilder, shooting fire out of her mouth.

► Gawr Gura: A drawing. Cute! But why are you incinerating some black dude? Oh.. I get it! He was bad! Right?

‘No! I turned him into charcoal!’ is what she hastily writes. Helen’s ‘I’m strong!’ turned out to be Gura’s ‘I’m racist!’.

► Gawr Gura: Why did you burn him if he wasn’t bad then?

‘No! He was bad, so I burned him because I’m strong!’

► Gawr Gura: Because he’s black?

Helen draws her bodybuilder self burning down Gura instead, but the Faction Leader steals both page and pen and gives herself a water-shooting trident that’s shooting a wave full of sharks at a half-eaten body-builder Helen, giggling all the while as Helen chases her, both going in circles around Gura's weeping team.

>>Ƹ> (M? Charisma ღ Roll: 8 = Failure)<< (Establish rapport / ask for mentorship.)

Lil’ Helena is wearing her biggest scowl as she notices, on the page, the two big teeth Gura drew on what remained of her face. They aren’t nearly that big, and Gura wouldn’t have noticed because she never talks. At any rate: this was just a misunderstanding and nothing bad happened- yet Helen is sure that this gap in communication won't be going anywhere. Despite that, the Helen on the page, all maimed and eaten by sharks, defiled with big teeth, demands vengeance.

Coping with the apocalypses is hard, but those two who have started slapping each others' butts have clearly cracked.

I can try again later I suppose, a second mentorship attempt.

>the Helen on the page, all maimed and eaten by sharks, defiled with big teeth, demands vengeance.

And vengeance is a dish best served, em… with a lot of what she’s going to get! Helena looks up. Gura is still hiding behind Takanashi Kiara’s butt, peeking from it with a shit-eating shark grin. What a childish person! Helena knows how adults do it, how they make others feel bad- and it’s not by pinching cheeks.

>This BASTARD! You'll take from her the East's heart by giving them great hugs and reassuring smiles.

Taking advantage of their desperation (or perhaps it’s just Ina’s desperation because she’s the one getting piled on) Helen silently (because of course) joins the group hug. Gura peeks a bit more, her grin a bit weaker. Not even turning to look, Mori Calliophe pushes Helen deeper into the group hug and now the little devil is crying too, like a crocodile, as Gura’s smile wanes like bad luck.

► Gura: Whaaaa-

Helen peeks and sticks her tongue out at her

and Gura’s smile turns upside-down

► Gura: Hey! That’s my spot! Go away!

Helen doesn’t. No; she doubles up. The little beast looks straight into Ina’s red wet cheeks and offers the poor girl her sweetest smile as a consolation, a little something to hang on. Given how disheveled the purple hair looks, this looks like it was a genuine panic attack, half sorrow, half fear. But Ina giggles. Maybe because of how presumptuous Helen is acting- but it’s enough to get the broken girl to hug her as well.

► Kiara: Holy shit, girl I’m so crying. *sniff* Fuck. Wait, who is this?

► Calliope: *sniff* Oh, I thought it was Gura.

Ina relaxed. Maybe she thinks Helen is going through the same, and that she has to be strong too. The dragon’s little gambit made it all better.

► Gura: Nooooo!! That was my thing!

Ina’s sad little smile turns funny when Gura tries to rip Helen from her. The little dragon hangs on the hug for dear life, deflating the priestess’s lungs like they were ketchup sachets.

► Amelia: -the fuck are you doing?

Helen lets go and falls over Gura. Both stand in silence, both red in the face, looking away from each other. Then walk away.

The millisecond Gura turns away, Helen runs and hugs Calliophe, Amelia, Kiara, and Ina and then darts out as if Gura were a boulder in a cave.

>>Ƹ> (M4 Charisma ღ Roll: 62 = Very successful)<< (Be sweet to the rest of Mythic Team)

Finally safe and hidden, Helen wonders why Gura acted that way, why that little teasing worked so much. Whatever. Paper Bodybuilder Helena can finally rest in peace.

Whatever. Next stop is a mining town, famous for its deep excavations and huge drills- Desuwa Town.

◄ Salome: De-su-WA!

It can be seen from outer space. Helen walks up to the Faction Leader of the West and claps. Instantly delighted, Salome turns around so fast that Helen jumps back.

◄ Salome: I’m so flattered desuwa! But! This isn’t a performance, you see! I’m an actual high-class lady desuwaaaa!

All Helen wanted was her attention. When Salome looks forward and sees no one, she looks down. When she sees Helen, the Faction Leader tilts her head sideways quizzically. Head tilting seems like a cultural habit at this point.

◄ Salome: Oh-ho? Oh! You are A-chan’s new apprentice, our soon-to-be-dazzling-Coordinator desuwaa! I see, I see! Hmmm!

Helen hasn’t even moved yet.

◄ Salome: You want to make friends with all the Faction Leaders desuwa! Because Coordinators are diplomatic and neutral and all of that, and this is the perfect opportunity to show your neutrality desuwa!

Even though the world is ending and there’s a hole in the sky above Bagdad.

◄ Salome: But! The last one will be challenging. Yes, yes! You have to find her yourself desuwa. I won’t tell you where sh eis. No, no! This is a challenge desuwaa!! You will grow and become a fine lady DESUWAAAA!!

This character is just too happy about sending you on a quest. Instead, Helen pulls out her notepad and draws her and Salome walking hand in hand like they were family. Salome takes the picture, gasps, then takes a very fancy pencil from somewhere in her hair and draws on the paper at a speed that leaves Helen’s mouth gaping.

◄ Salome: You are a P-51 Mustang now DESUWAAA

…where Helen was now is a perfectly realistic assault plane holding the poorly drawn Faction Leader’s hand with one of its wings. No Wisdom roll will ever uncover what this means.

>>Ƹ> (M? Charisma ღ Roll: 40)<< (Establish rapport / ask for mentorship.)

Unlike Gura, Salome is a bit easier to read. Her personality is very bipolar, but Helen can already tell that she’s the youngest Faction Leader for all the better reasons. Odds are that she saw how the little dragon made the little shark mad and is now gauging whether Helen would rather apologize or look for Ironmouse herself, as a way to gauge the freshest Coordinator.

>>Ƹ> (M? Wisdom ⸫ Roll: 86)<< (Read Faction Leader Desuwa.)

Ironmouse is nowhere to be seen.

ᕙ:

‘Thank fuck’ Jimena suddenly thinks, surprising even herself, as the chain retracts from the wall behind her. But it makes sense. So much is going on, there’s so much to think about… but not this. No, no. Right now, all she has to do… is punch.

This, Jimena thinks as she punches the palm of her hand, is going to be relaxing

but fast! Like a cop, she’ll go for the blacks first!

ᕙ Jimena: Reeaaady-up AND-

>>ᕙ (M5 Magical Affinity λ Roll: 3 = Critical Failure)<< (Power Up.)

Jimena falls to her knees. She’d think an invisible someone buried a knee between her boobs if she wasn’t already used to this hollow feeling. Her power failed, but, this time

she thinks the fuse inside of her blew off.

And the Knights don’t let a second go to waste.

>>ᕙ (M3 Dexterity 彡 Roll: 33 = Failure)<< (Dodge and hit the first Black Knight.)
>>ᕙ (M3 Dexterity 彡 Roll: 55 = Failure)<< (Dodge and hit the second Black Knight.)

Two ethereal chains are buried now on Jimena, one on her left knee, the other under her right elbow. She remembers Rita fighting these guys, and it seems so long ago; if they wanted, the Knights would have ripped the hobo in half. They won’t now, either; that’s the conclusion Jimena comes to. Yet, one thing is for sure: Hush didn’t even give her a free pass to betray the West.

The OoE’s no-killing policy, of course, doesn’t stop the Black Knights from slamming Jimena all over the football field, as the Cricket and Priestess watch- but it’s like smashing those sticky smash balls against the walls. Yet the Black Knights are so set on knocking her out, or maybe just programmed to do so, that they don’t stop-

and they run out of energy

and the chains fade away.

>>ᕙ (M3 Constitution Ω Roll: 28 = No Damage)<< (Resist the Black Knight’s attacks.)
>>ᕙ (M3 Constitution Ω Roll: 1 = No Damage (Critical Success))<< (Resist the Black Knight’s attacks.)

Jimena isn’t even dizzy by the time she’s free- even though she’s a literal stain on the grass, much wider than usual. From the ground she’s splattered onto, Jimena locks eyes with the Priestess. Wise like Geppetto, it turns around and, leaving the other three behind even her now hauntingly screaming cricket, makes a run for it that would make even the IRS proud.

Compromise is the way into hearts. Though I'm certain that the Faction Leader of North knows Helen is looking for her. For all I know, she might be on the ceiling. If all else fails, the Sherlock character can be convinced to help. Helen might need to whistle if she can't speak.

With a drawing telling of her meeting with Weird Eyes and a faked expression of reverence. The East was founded by her, so presumably her words are held with some importance.

Rita you mad genius, lets pull a Titanic and pop some balloons!
I fully endorse this plan.

>ACTION: Change to bow formation and fire off a few arrows at the balloons in the distance.
just for clarity, I'm aiming for these arrow shots to not be super powerful, since I'm literally just popping balloons, so that Lucinda can increase her rate of fire.

Civilian casualties be damned, this is gonna be epic.

Also I wanna say something I didn't get the chance to last thread because it ended before I had the chance.

I had so much fun with you peeps, and even if this is our last hurrah, I want to say I don't regret a single second of playing along with you all.
I cherish these memories, and I wouldn't trade them for most anything.

Thanks for running QM, you are something special indeed.

Last post for a short while, I want to ask something I've been itching to ask for a while, if it would be possible to incorporate these two songs into the fight me and Rita are having this thread?
Thank you.

>since I'm literally just popping balloons
the problem with lucinda's crossbow has always been that it's overkill. crossbow mode can only do two things: nothing, or leave a hole in the stratosphere. there's no middle ground. lucinda either absolutely fucking assasinates a single balloon or not- or hits it with her scythe?

i'll call rolls for the both of you once this is addressed.

>I cherish these memories, and I wouldn't trade them for most anything.
that's rly so sweet lucindanon, i feel the same. that's why we have this thread. i can't do this for much longer, but i think the very least you guys deserve is end on some kind of note, or at least have an ending.

>Slip away, Slippin' Jimmy.

Jimena only watches as the four remaining Toys dart away, leaving the poor Cricket behind- but she lets that one go too. There’s no time. There’s no magic to waste, either. As Hush’s magic fades away, so will despair consume her Soul Gem exponentially faster.

A pang of worry slips by: it’s not like she can waste her magic either, at least for now. Her gum body ended up damaged when she tried to over-exert it. But her legs still work and her mind is slowly coming back (for ill or omen) so Jimena just uses both to go through the football field.

As she soars through the buildings (as she sling-shots herself over and over, praying to land on the mark, missing half the time) her mind wanders too.

ᕙ Jimena: (Are vTubers really that cringe? I mean, yeah, but, what if the character looked like the person? I mean; is it cringe only because they want to show something that they aren’t? Like the fat fuckers acting like 2D lolis? Am I cringe?)

As she accidentally intercepts a Black Knight mid-flight, instantly turning it into a rain of wood and splinters (and one of those mysterious little papers in japanese) Jimena realizes that there is a possibility that she is, in fact, cringe, as she crashes face-first on a tombstone.

>>ᕙ (M3 Dexterity 彡 Roll: 36 = Failure)<< (Travel quick through Recoleta.)

Three Knights.
Only three knights,
and no happy duo to be seen.

Of all places to challenge death it had to be in the Cemetery of Recoleta. Jimena bounces back like a coil to a perfect standing position. Grinning, and transforming, she strikes a cool position, winks, and says:

ᕙ Jimena: WHY AM I SUCH A KLUTZ JESUS FUCK MAN

That Labyrinth doesn’t seem all that close yet.

on another note, QM, 'for ill or omen' isn't a phrase found in english, 'for better or worse' is probably closer to what you want to convey.

you don't even need to roll anything here, Rita can just walk up the walls and then jetpack her way around. the balloons are big and don't even move. it's guaranteed.

>>5816826
on the other hand, this is fucking bananas but it's Lucinda. given that she has never pulled off this shit before this is gonna be a mammoth-fueled m5 dex- to get the scythe to come back to where Lucinda is. the worse the roll, the further it'll end up. below 20, it won't even hit balloons

>Claim the West's heart by comforting Petra, who you reckon is beating herself up right now.

There’s just so much desuwa a man can take, but Helen knows she’ll have to endure: Salome is testing her right now. She has to find Ironmouse, Faction Leader of the North, /but/- life is all about detours, and Helen knows where hers ends. Her head, shaking like a compass in a thunderstorm, ends up fixated on the back of that big, puffy sweater- with sleeves like the arms of a penguin.

Helen walks up to her, totally unnoticed. Petra is crouching for some reason, and from that angle and height, she does look like an actual, living penguin- way easier to hug! Poor Petra must be crushed, all that destruction around her, all those mean Toys and Knights… Helen hugs that penguin. She will make it all bett-

-with a shrill scream, the penguin turns around instantly, revealing that it was a human all along as it falls on its butt. Her blue eyes, open like the legs of your mom, slowly focus on Helen- who smiles. Who continues to smile. Who is stuck smiling like a statue. Or a retard.

◄ Petra: ……????

◄ Reimu: …biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittchh, i can’t breaaaaaaaaaaaathee-

Under Petra Gurin, butt is Reimu Endou, the Phantom Magical Girl. Her hair is white and massive/, her skin is pale, she’s skinny as the dead, and her eyes are dead too- but not those huge eye bags under them. With another shrill little scream, the penguin stands at once as if poked with a needle.

◄ Petra: Ohmygodsososososorry!! Are you ok, Reimu?!

◄ Reimu: ...nnOOoooo, why did you move? Kill me *cough* like that, you fucking bitch!

Petra sighs loudly.

◄ Petra: Earn it.

One of Reimu’s lungs collapses.

◄ Reimu: HAHAHA, OMG ‘Earn it!’ *cough cough* HAHAHA, LOOK AT THE QUEEN!

Petra is growing red and red (yet smiling) as Helen helplessly tugs at her penguin sleeve. Petra crouches again, meeting the red little mess eye to eye- caressing that red hair.

◄ Petra: You scared me, little matchstick. What was that all about?

Helen was already frowning. Petra Gurin isn’t… brooding? She isn't sad? She isn’t scared?! But everything is going down! Things are exploding! Ready to save face, Helen takes out the notepad and draws Petra doing… anything! Whatever! She hands over the paper.

◄ Petra: Why am I… riding a giant cat? *giggle* It’s so sweet! I-

By the time she looks up, Helena had pretty much vanished from this plane of existence.

Helen hides behind the dinosaur body suit, red as fucking tomato. Judging by her reactions to Reimu, Petra must be very close to her. For whatever reason she seemed content with having the nigh-ghost there with her, even in that sorry state- maybe that’s one of the few Magical Girls that have been rescued so far.

>>Ƹ> (M6 Wisdom ⸫ Roll: 83 = Success)<< (Read Petra.)

The crying coming from inside the dinosaur suit is becoming annoying. Whoever is in there- grow up already! Worse still, there are no signs of Ironmouse yet- the Faction Leader is obviously /not/ within sight! Maybe she should just call it quits, Helen thinks. Oh! Maybe that’s the real test. Maybe.

ᕙ:

To question one’s nature is the first step to enlightenment. Jimena Gimenez may not figure out by herself why, indeed, she’s such a klutz- but she’s not alone. Friends are those who will rally in your search for answers; right now, those Friends are the two Black Knights piledriving her into a statue of the Virgin Mary-

>>ᕙ (M2 Dexterity 彡 Roll: 41 = Failure)<< (Dodge and hit the first Black Knight.)
>>ᕙ (M3 Constitution Ω Roll: 18 = No Damage (Critical Success))<< (Resist the second Black Knight’s attacks.)

-and then through the roof of a chapel-shaped mausoleum

>>ᕙ (M2 Dexterity 彡 Roll: 16 = Failure)<< (Dodge and hit the second Black Knight.)
>>ᕙ (M3 Constitution Ω Roll: 21 = No Damage)<< (Resist the first Black Knight’s attacks.)


She ends up inside a sarcophagus; it smells horrible. Of the skeleton, after that landing, inside only remains the skull that is staring straight at her dust-covered, living face. Jimena doesn’t even feel sorry; wouldn’t she just love to die of old age. Grabbing it by the eye sockets as if it was Yorick, the still sleepy brunette patiently waits until the big black toys drag her in for another ride, still unsure of the coolest way to use it- but nothing comes to mind.

As she’s brutally slammed against the wall and breaks through, as she’s hanging in the middle of the air in a cloud of dust, with a chain stuck to her waist and another to her neck, Jimena at least remembers that she can do pretty much the exact same thing. Right as she’s brought down again like a hammer, her magical weapon, a transparent whip that looks like honey, finally sees the light of the again when the gigantic hand at its tip wraps the third Knight whole

and brings it down on a field full of tombstones just as Jimena is brought down herself.

>>ᕙ (M2 Dexterity 彡 Roll: 83 = Success)<< (Hit the third Black Knight.)
>>ᕙ (M3 Physical Affinity £ Roll: 33 = Success)<< (Destroy the Black Knight.)

At this point, she could just wait it out again and let these flying fucks get tired. However, something inside Jimena isn’t liking absolutely at fucking all to be the wrecking ball destroying a graveyard, where many come to meet those they miss. A part of her thinks it's truly stupid since these guys are already dead… but the fury underneath remains undeniable.

>>Offer her first place in your team, Helena’s dragoons.
>>Demand she lets you ride on her shoulders.

Oh, so that’s why Petra and Jimena make such good friends. I would say time and place, but it’s the end of the world, so propriety gets thrown out the window, and only madness remains—time for Helen to bring out her own personal brand. Homeric hubris.

>CLIMB THE STADIUM STANDS TO THE HOLE IN THE CEILING AND TAKE OUT A FEW BALLOONS!

ರೃ:

>BOOMERANG SCYTHE BALLOONS

Both look up at once- yet the Relay had nothing to do with that. The rows and rows and rows of seats cramming the walls, like a waterfall of monsters falling upwards, converge on the massive hole of the roof shining colors down like the end of a rainbow.

It’s the balloons, the gigantic balloons holding this circus of life.

If they went straight after the Witch, they’d be outnumbered. If they sniped the Witch, unless it died instantly, they’d be surrounded. If they waited, everyone would have died. So what do you do when the game can’t be won?

凸 Rita: You break it.

ರೃ Lucinda: (Break what?)

凸 Rita: (Break?)

They share one last look of confusion that becomes determination as they look up. Instantly running, Rita helps herself with her stained glass propulsors to go through the mesmerized public- as if moving inside a circle. Focused, she only finds herself alone halfway through. From her point of view, it looks like the blonde is doing the Michael Jackson leaning-

-but the blonde is aiming. Not with her crossbow, mind you; with her scythe.

凸 Rita: (Luci?)

ರೃ Lucinda: (What?)

凸 Rita: (Eh, nothing.)

Again Rita devours distance, dodging Familiars, jumping over ‘food carts’, kicking herself from chairs to glide over gaps- and when the ledge finds her, when there’s nothing more to step on, Rita doesn’t wonder how gravity will work there and just

jumps.

Lucinda’s grip remains rock steady as Rita, now a faint, blazing comet in the sky, draws lines under the balloons and sets them free. That faint switch in balance is yet enough for even the Witch to hold her hand- as a million mad eyes look up. What they see, then, is not Rita flying around with her long rapier, it’s not the lines of colors the stained glass propulsors draw in the sky, it’s Lucinda’s scythe ascending, spinning as if physics broke, going straight for the heart of the cluster. It slices through a few lines- but it keeps going. Rita stops. Lucinda stops. Balloons and hot air balloons are different, balloons explode when you poke them but hot air balloons don’t. And yet; this /is/ a Witch’s Labyrinth. Anything could happen. Are these hot air balloons? Are these simple balloons? Are these hot air balloons that explode? Are these simple balloons that deflate quietly? How would they know?

The merciless nova of air and sound, invisible, instant, and invasive, is a very clear answer.

>>ರೃ (M4 Dexterity 彡 Roll: 74 = Success)<< (Throw the scythe like a boomerang at the balloons.)

(This one comes with music:)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojIKoKNBwN4

The ensuing turbulence was so brutal that even the Witch was tumbled sideways. Given that Rita was focused on a single side before the explosion, the whole circus is now slowly but surely turning sideways, and the skewed gravity inside is doing nothing to help those on the field. The assistant Familiars start falling onto the crowd, the tables with humans slide, and the Witch helps herself up with her wings but is desperately clawing her way up in a fruitless attempt to escape the shifting angle of the floor. Watching the shitshow as the lights go crazy, as the realization drains the blood from her face, Lucinda realizes that her scythe /isn’t/ coming back- and neither is Rita.

ರೃ Lucinda: (Rita? Rita? Rita?)

No answer.

ರೃ Lucinda: (Any of you.)

No answer. Not even from the Relay. Rita was caught in the explosion.

Lucinda sees her Soul Gem going black.

Oh damn, have we thrown out the addendum/argument points to save time? I can work with this. Okay, it's time to beat these bastards over the head with the Charisma hammer until they agree. That’s the good thing about charisma; you can keep talking until they stab you.

-lucinda isn't sure rita is dead, cause gucas
-lucinda's Soul Gem is still almost pristine. going down from that is hard
-the scythe can just be regenerated later
-self-harming without a solid reason may take an m7 mind roll
-and a single one won't be enough. killing yourself is way harder than people give it credit for

just 4 days in lawlelijahwood

>>5817432
Fair enough reasons, I was unsure of the action anyway while writing it. I can just make a new one. This is better, for us all.

>ACTION: Ignore these thoughts of despair, you have an enemy to fight. You haven't seen Rita's body so she could just be unconscious. Dive towards the witch and dropkick it from above.

With this, I'm hoping to make the witch even more unbalanced and push it into the void.

>ACTION: Soothe Dino girl. Her crying is throwing off your thinking.

Helen sighs- a bit too melodramatically. Waiting for whoever is trapped inside Freddy Fazbear’s ancestor to grow up will take too long and she has to think straight like /now/.
…Helen touches her eyes. Nah come ON, she’s crying too! It’s contagious!
Unlike Petra, the massive reptile from the paleozoic era won’t notice if she hugs her from behind, and since kicking it isn’t helping either all Helen can think of is to whistle- and not even that works for some reason.

Dinosaur: *sob* *sob* *SOB*

Helen walks away. She leaves the screen.

Then comes back running like a frightened cat and slams her whole little body into it with a shoulder tackle.

Dinosaur: *so-AAAAA!

Finally flinching, it turns around- startling Helen; a dinosaur is looking down at her.

Dinosaur: W-what?

The dinosaur can only look as Helen runs away again. But then Helen comes back, yet again, scared shitless- because it’s not real. The dinosaur is not real!

Dinosaur: H-hey… are you okay?

Helen nods, her watery eyes sparkling. She takes out her notepad a bit slower than usual and draws with careful, measured lines as the monster sizes her up with those big fangs. What Helen gives it is a picture of her hugging the dinosaur, something she can only do in fantasy.

Dinosaur: OH! That’s you! *sob* that’s soo- thank you?! A-and- oh? Oh?! It says something! Let’s read what it says!

>Promise as a Coordinator, she will be your first client pro bono.

Dinosaur: ‘If you stop crying I’ll let you be my first client for free’ signed ‘Helena the Coordinator’.

The dinosaur laughs, and the laugh echoes from its inside- and it’s scary!

Dinosaur: But I’m not crying anymore!

>>Ƹ> (M4 Charisma ღ Roll: 41+5=46 = Success)<< (Comfort The Dinosaur.)

There are too many reasons for which this dinosaur could be sad right now, especially because it’s a dinosaur and the world is ending- it’s living it all over again. Helen wonders if she’d be sad if she was a dinosaur, and gets to consider that there would be some noticeable benefits to being a gigantic reptile- especially back at the orphanage. But, none of that is helping her understand why it's sad.

>>Ƹ> (M5 Wisdom ⸫ Roll: 66 = Failure)<< (Read The Dinosaur.)

Dinosaur: Wait! It’s you! The new Coordinator A-chan told us about. The eight-year-old girl!

To Helen’s absolute horror, the dinosaur rips its own head off.

▲ Ironmouse: Hello lovely! Welcome to the North!

Helen has been traumatized for life.

File: whatTheFuckIsAFactionLeader.png (369 KB, 551x552)

Didn’t she… see Ironmouse before? Somewhere? Not wearing a dinosaur? Did the Faction Leader kick whoever was inside just to cry alone?

▲ Ironmouse: Are you okay? …Is she okay? Oh my god, I think she’s not okay!

▲ Zentreya: Thank fuck you are out of my banana shake already. We need you here with us you boulevard.

It’s the most monotone, plain, robotic voice Helen had ever heard, uncanny enough to make her turn her head- and of course, the Magical Girl herself looks like an android.

▲ Ironmouse: Up the fuck shut. I can’t be strong forever. *sob*

Ironmouse crouches, still half dinosaur- but she looks so bad and scared that Helen doesn’t feel the least bit scared anymore.

▲ Ironmouse: You are scared too, right?

Of the end of Magical Girls? Maybe. Of dinosaurs? YES. Surprisingly, it’s Ironmouse who goes for a hug, the sharp claws of her suit soothingly dragging Helen in- who, after thinking it over, hugs her back.

The poor dinosaur is just scared.

>>Ƹ> (M? Charisma ღ Roll: 82)<< (Establish rapport / ask for mentorship.)

The Northern faction is famous for eschewing things such as good manners and cordiality, being the most blunt and brutal faction in Buenos Aires. Their mere existence defies the established image of what a Magical Girl is and what she stands for, half the time by accident, half the time intentionally, but always in the crudest fashion they can think of. Mostly known for their creative insults such as ‘cock vacuum’, ‘brainless fuckfart’, ‘turbo-autist’, and ‘retard on steroids’, it is rumored that they engage in secret charity much more than any other faction in the Big Buenos Aires.

Ironmouse looks at Helen from over the new page the little girl just gave her.

▲ Ironmouse: If I’m wearing a white duster and I’m writing on a blackboard and you are sleeping on your desk then- you want me to teach you about Magical Girls! Yay! I will!

Helen, happy, tries to say ‘yay!’ but nothing comes out.

▲ Ironmouse: Ok! This is a Soul Gem!

What? Right now?

▲ Ironmouse: And that is Zen!

She points at Zentreya’s resting bitch face.

▲ Zentreya: Teach her something else.

>>Ƹ> (M? Wisdom ⸫ Roll: 39)<< (Read Faction Leader Ironmouse.)

It’s hard to tell why this Faction Leader is so worried, so the reason may simply be complex. There’s too much going on right now, but there was always too much going on anyway. Helen doesn’t know what Faction Leaders do besides being ridiculously strong, but considering they have to deal with other Factions and Magical Girls and Witches like the one Rita and Lucinda are facing, all at once- it just can’t be easy. It looks like stuff even adults struggle with, yet neither Gura or Salome or Ironmouse or even Lily look that close to their second decade.

Helen wonders if they count as adults or not.

>Alas, poor Yorick. The whip worked, keep at it.

People fear being bad, even those (and especially those) who pride themselves on their evil. Even if it’s dumb as fuck, some people do care about these stones- and Jimena won’t be the wrecking that wrecks them.

When the second Knight drags in Jimena as if saying ‘Get over here!’, a big helping hand latches onto it- and helps it get the Magical Girl closer, who goes through its body like a missile.

>>ᕙ (M2 Dexterity 彡 Roll: 59 = Success)<< (Hit the first Black Knight.)
>>ᕙ (M3 Physical Affinity £ Roll: 70 = Success)<< (Destroy the first Black Knight.)

Gliding through the air in slow motion, surrounded by small black planks moving away from her, Jimena spies the Priestess and the Cricket hiding behind a tombstone each. Swiftly, she wonders what would happen if they took her.

Crudely landing on the ground, tumbling all over, Jimena is bounced back by the final Black knight’s chain, wondering when this shit will end, then answering that very question herself by balling up the fist at the end of her whip and swinging it like a lasso.

>>ᕙ (M2 Dexterity 彡 Roll: 81 = Success)<< (Hit the first Black Knight.)
>>ᕙ (M3 Physical Affinity £ Roll: 35 = Success)<< (Destroy the second Black Knight.)

Splinters rains for a few seconds. These fucks are endless, annoying, and too fast for her fat ass. Jimena gifts the blue and white Toys her earnest death stare, sending both blitzing away as if they met a grizzly bear while riding a bike.

Surrounded by debris, Jimena falls flat on her butt.

ᕙ Jimena: The fuck are you doing, Jimmy? The fuck can you do?

It’s not an easy question. Grief Seeds and Witches had been scarce for a while, the whole of Buenos Aires is swarming with these little shits, and heading for the Violet Tower is as dangerous as it is hard- and she’d be betraying Salome. Stuck amidst this fuckfest, still incapable of using her magic (which should be the saving grace of being a Magical Girl), Jimena gauges her options.

There aren’t that many.

I do think Helen's super secret power is being one hell of a lucky bastard. She should've died at the very start when her wish broke, but lucky her Weird Eyes was there. There's also the whole surviving her dad killing her entire family explosion. It deeply amuses me that Helen told Weird Eyes that her dad was going to sell her overseas but didn't mention that he killed the entirety of her family.

>>5817627

A dog with a bone. Helen wants a grand education.

It makes sense that Helen, who lives in the North, rolls so high with the North. Might have even been a receiver of the North's charity, being an orphan and all. It will be great for building up Helen's repertoire of insults.

>Dive towards the witch and dropkick it from above.

Lucinda’s Soul Gem, when she is transformed, becomes a sideways fang-shaped pearl that stays under her left eye. Even looking down she can’t see it directly- but its faint light weakens when it gains impurities.

She may have just killed Rita.

The Fucknado starts going up the stadium as it shifts; she won’t think about that for now. It’s not that it doesn’t shock her. It’s not that she doesn’t feel pain or guilt or sorrow or despair, no. Right now, at this very moment, there’s simply no time to grieve - and you won’t ever find Lucinda Newhorn wasting time.

She can despair later when it’s all said and done.

Under the Witch, slowly but surely, the angle of the floor is going from ‘horizontal’ to ‘vertical’, gaining a few degrees each time a Familiar slips down. The public, Lucinda observes, is still spared this shift in gravity, but whenever one of the Familiars on the stage would fall into the stands, among the seats, something very weird happens: they get sucked by the hole in the ceiling.

The lights, twinkling, finally go off. The floating circus as a whole also is losing height as there aren’t enough balloons to keep it in place anymore. The cheers had become broken howls with no symphony, and on the field, the tables with humans, heavy, were losing ground as the Familiars there hanged to them for dear life. The crosses, stabbed to the floor, remained in place; Jimena’s father quietly stared as the circus fell-

right behind the Witch.

It had been struggling. The ‘bear trap’ digging into her flesh was serving as an anchor until the angle grew too sharp. As the haphazard chunk of metal began sliding it began pushing her down, and now the Witch’s wings, like claws, scratch the floor with what fear despair incarnate can spare. But the circus kept on shifting. The Witch turns around, looking for a way out, then up again for somewhere to cling to- but what it finds is Lucinda Newhorn’s dainty feet ringing shockwaves into its head, spreading pure force through its whole body, a dropkick that made even the steel under it reverberate-

>>ರೃ (M3 Dexterity 彡 Roll: 63 = Success)<< (Dropkick the Witch.)

-and then send it all bouncing away.

>>ರೃ (M8 Physical Affinity £ Roll: 70 = Perfect Success)<< (Push the Witch out of the Circus.)

Lucinda grabs onto a cross as the Witch, all big and stiff, is comically sent tumbling and spinning down, on a collision course with some of the lucky Familiars who got first row to the show- only to end up sucked by the bizarre gravity keeping the public in place and sent upwards. Finding nothing to dig her ‘claws’ into, except for the tender flesh of the Familiars watching (which is not enough) the Witch is anti-climatically sucked out of her stage- and then spat out as if it was chewed-out gum.


Hanging from the cross, Lucinda waits patiently. She had seen the monstrous faces below, hidden by the thick dark, eat the Familiars that failed the rope. Holding her breath, she stays in place; when her hope wanes, the Fucknado lets herself fall as well and get carried by the gravity, but teethers her chains to the ledge of the hole right as she’s about to be pushed out, climbing over it. From it, she looks at the utter darkness below and she sees them, with a lump in her throat she sees them-

Down below, like a rainbow crammed in a dot

two wings of so many colors

growing in size.

>Ask her how to get the other two Faction Leaders as teachers.

It may not be enough. Ironmouse knows stuff that neither Salome nor Gura knows, but, at the same time, Salome knows stuff that neither Ironmouse nor Gura knows… and Gura knows stuff that neither desuwa nor dinosaur knows too! To Helen, this is a very serious problem. Why can’t a lawyer also be a mechanic? Why can’t a ninja go to med school? Why can’t a carpenter also be a vTuber? She won’t have it. Helen wants it all! Decisively, she snaps her last drawing from Ironmouse’s hand.

▲ Ironmouse: Oh, you want it back?

▲ Zentreya: It’s drawing.

Indeed she is. As if the exam was in its final seconds, Helen is drawing the other two Faction Leaders also by the blackboard, next to the cartoonish Ironmouse drawn into the paper. As a little smoke leaves the tip of her pencil, she hands the drawing back to the still teary-eyed leader of the North, who has a good look at it with a face full of hope

and frowns enough to make Helen flinch.

▲ Ironmouse: You want Gura and the desuwa girl to teach you too. Am I not good enough?

......oh, no. Oh, no. Ironmouse giggles.

▲ Ironmouse: Don’t worry, don’t worry! Of course, you’d feel that way if you saw someone as fucked up as I am. It’s ok! It makes sense! Because I’m a Faction Leader and yet… I can’t… stop… crying…!

Zentreya shares a glance with Helen, conveying a deep, secret feeling: the raw fear of having to comfort someone herself. Ironmouse had locked herself in a dragon suit just to cry alone, so- perhaps she felt weak? Powerless before her burden? Always quick to think, those few years in the jungle let Helen quickly realize that this insensitive remark of hers may cost her the only teacher she could have had

if she doesn’t do something /right now/! Twist the facts! Justify them! Hug her! Whatever! Aaaaaa it’s contagious-!

>Go to the yurimancer's house while smelling like dead, it'll attune you to her.

There aren’t that many choices, but there IS sticking out the most- one that is very coincidentally too close by at this very low moment.

Yuri.

It’s someone Lucinda has been thinking about often while on the Labyrinth. A very ‘unique’ girl Jimena had a few times before, a veteran (an elder by today’s standards) who’s more often than not holed up in- Almagro, a neighboring district. WELL; friends know each other’s secrets, right? Sharing heads through the Relay has to count for something, therefore. Too bad Lucinda is too busy dive-kicking to give her permission, but Jimena is sure that the gentle blonde would abide.

All this flawless plan would take is a LITTLE SPEED-

>>ᕙ (M5 Magical Affinity λ Roll: 87 = Success)<< (Power Up.)

-and that is exactly what it’s going to get. Because morning wood has to be shared, and it’s still morning. Leaving the graveyard behind, and some of the cremation ashes in her hair, Jimena makes her way to Abasto Shopping Center through roofs and dark alleys like Magical Girls are wont to do when they forget cars exist.

Jimena slips on dog shit (on a roof? for some reason?) and falls on an air vent, clogging it.

Jimena straight-up hits a wall with her face when jumping through a gap, and spends a full minute ungluing it.

Jimena trips on a cat and goes through a window, ending up in a kitchen with two chefs naked and covered in oil reading poetry.

Jimena falls from the roof of a hotel straight into a hole in the sewers.

Jimena is hit by a truck and ends up in Palermo, then by another and ends up in Villa Soldati.

But she makes it. Despite being the sloth on steroids of the world of Magical Girls, she eventually, through sheer will and persistence, ends up in Almagro, in front of a very familiar house she had never seen. All covered in shit, sweat, dust, and ashes, gasping as if she was about to have a heart attack, she ends up in front of Alondra Rodriguez’s tree-shaped steel gate.

It takes some heroic sacrifice to lift that finger and to press that bell, but she does. But after a while all that comes is a very elderly granny, smiling gently as she fights mere gravity with a stick, taking her time. She doesn’t even ask the completely fucked-up vTuber anything, and instead just opens the door.

Grandma: Hi heaven, come on in.

Just like that.

ᕙ Jimena: Eh uh- I’m looking for Li- Hi! How you doin? I’m Jimena. I’m looking for your niece, Alondra. Is she home?

The grandma blinks for a while, as Jimena wonders if that's how Lifa sees herself. To reach the second decade as a Magical Girl is an understated miracle, even if freaky examples such as Weird Eyes make it seem commonplace.

Grandma: Sorry, hun. I think she left. Come in and wait for her, there’s still cake.

ᕙ Jimena: Gotcha, thank you, sorry, be careful on your way back.

Not daring to involve civilians, Jimena runs away like a Naruto fan, cursing over and over under her breath. The peace magic is wearing off. Mentally, it feels as if she was in an oven and someone was turning up the heat. It’s only then that she recalls seeing Lifa north of the Violet Tower when it all started. Well, fucking shit ass dick. Sometimes, a little memory can spare us so much, /so much/ work. After a while, when she’s running on the Abasto Shopping Center’s roof for the fuck of it, Jimena remembers her wish and tries to imagine another that could have been dumber.

Halfway through the roof, it turns out her trip wasn’t all in vain.

A gigantic-shuriken-like thing made of bones lands in front of her like the rotor blades of a helicopter that just got blown with a rocket launcher- then, as she’s pressing those brakes, what looks like the skeleton of a snake with like twenty swords acting like wings bombards her with said spinning blades as it flies by- missing every single hit. Already ready to haul ass to a much happier place, Jimena dares to look up

and looks at Alondra Rodriguez with her head on the claws of an enormous… eagle-like thing. It has kites for wings and wears glasses. On each side of the Magical Girl are a Cricket and a Priestess.

Voice from the Cricket: Alondra, report on the result.

Lifa: I-think-I-missed-everything.

Her hair is now entirely green, but Lifa’s magical form is just like Jimena saw it last time: a simple white duster with floral patterns, kinda like those scientists wear when their toddlers decided to fuck them up with their crayons. There are no bones or gauntlets to be seen on her, unlike in Lucinda’s memories.

There is one big difference from her own memories, though: Jimena remembers that pink Soul Gem being less dark.

>>5818833
>Justify to her why you want three Faction Leaders as teachers.

Helen wants to save everyone, to prevent another day like this from ever occurring. She sees the city torn apart by Toys and wonders how the Coordinators could let this transpire. She understands the task is simply too great. So she wants to be a caliber beyond both to be great enough to stop a second Bird Call. She thinks all of them are to be her clients, people she gets to peer into their souls and truly know. So, she demands to truly push herself to the best to reflect what she fights for. That's why she seeks out the best: those who know the Magical Girls of the city, the Faction Leaders, each of them. She wants to save them all.

broad strokes of the justification and sort of Helen's mindset. It would be too big for a prompt so it can be condensed down to Helen just wants to save everyone but thinks she needs to be truly great.

>witch of peace
bitch is built different. I would've tried pulling a Kazumi Magica her and seeing what the result would be.

>>5819234
gotcha

>>5819241
>but I want some clarification tho of what you mean.
the usual. addendum go good, roll goes +, addendum go bad, roll goes -. we disagree, we talk it out. opening your mouth anywhere is always a risk

as for the roll, this is what you get:

"Helen feels that she's dealing with a very emotional person dealing with very complex reasons herself (enough to eschew dignity to hide and cry). Now exposed, this Faction Leader looks like she's about to have a meltdown... unless some very heavy comforting holds her up. Telling her that she needs more teachers may have been like telling your boyfriend that you should be able to also have other boyfriends. That didn't end up well."

>>5819271
nice formatting, anyways
>m1 dex
they literally cant hit me

>>5819133
errrrrm, I'm racking my brain here trying to figure out what my next step is.
Alright I got it now:

>ACTION: Dropkick the witch again.

Hey, it worked once didn't it?

>>5819135
Emmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmma!
Welcome back! Nice to see you.

I'm fighting a witch barehanded and Rita exploded.

>>5819271
God save me from emotional magical girls. I got to mull this over.
>what happened there?
girls revived a friend who witched out by taking pieces of the witch and human piece and making clones with it until one was stable enough. Also, the clone witch-girl eventually made a wish with Kyubey to be a real girl.

Rolled 48, 18, 48 = 114 (3d100)

>>5819271
whatever, here's the rolls anyways, dex

Rolled 98, 93, 29 = 220 (3d100)

>>5819300
i failed the one roll I could have failed
CON

>>5819302
oh my god its soo over.

>>5819282
Guess I got soothe this bastard again. Do I get to roll wisdom again?
>Comfort her.
>ADDENDUM: Motion Zen to get you some tea, sweets, and a pillow.
The whole ten-yards of a Coordinator treatment: a hug, a pat on the back, and a cradling rock back and forth. How many crying people does Helen have to comfort this day? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
>>5819306
I think you take like 10ish damage or so. Your constitution makes it a roll above 80, if I'm reading these rolls right, you got hit by the middle dude. Unless the dex rolls were for hitting them rather than dodging.

>>5819306
okay scratch that
>>5819319
yeah, still kinda bad rolls. Only I got hit this turn, I'm at disadvantage

>>5819323
>I'm at disadvantage
Is that part of the combat system? I never really got around to understanding it.

Jimena, I'm pretty certain you know vtubers, what can you tell me about Ironmouse?

>>5819330
>Is that part of the combat system? I never really got around to understanding it.
no, I'm stating the obvious. the round just didn't go in my favor
>Jimena, I'm pretty certain you know vtubers, what can you tell me about Ironmouse?
she's pretty hilarious from what i've seen, I don't follow her. horny as fuck and also has a sad background, I think she's got immunodeficiency or something and streaming is like the one way she gets to work

>spoiler
and here i was racking my brains to not bullshit too hard. leave it to the canon to outdo itself

>>5819306
whiny ass bitch its like 13 damage

>>5819319
>Comfort her.
that would be an m6 roll because it's too general. it's safe, though

>Shouldn't it be the other way around?
helen thinks that adults are just big babies. who knows

>>5819337
irl ironmouse is so fucked that she can't even leave her room because a couch could kill her. our ironmouse's wish was simply 'i want to live'. it's a widely known fact in the gucammunity of bsas, shes one of the very few that doesn't hate kyubey with a seething passion


also pic related will be the opening pic for the next (and most likely really final) thread. everyone is free to add one thing to it but only one thing

Rolled 80 (1d100)

>>5819407
Please don’t cry, you’re spoiling Helen’s hunger for power.

Yeah I'm sure now, finish the witch with a follow-up dropkick from orbit.

Since I'm "falling" from a greater height, my speed should increase, and times Lucinda's mass, the force outputted should be increased on the witch.
OH, wait I just had an idea. An additional action.
>Use freedom magic to become free of "friction".
This eliminates air friction, drag, and atmosphere. All that shit that keeps object from gaining speed as they fall. which slows objects as they fall, increasing the speed even more, theoretically to infinity in a vacuum.
Holy shit.

I think I've just made a magical girl missile that, the farther away it is from its target (if any), theoretically has infinite destructive power and faster than light speed.
Am I missing something or did I just unlock pandoras box? Guys, input pls.

>>5820898
That might do it. If you overshoot you can always become free of momentum, and gravity.
